O.P. Unicode?
Hi,

I'm wondering if the forums are using the Unicode char set.
This is because non-Latin characters are shown in a very weird cmbination of letters, numbers & more..

Nope, the board doesn't support Unicode.

The latest version of MyBB supports unicode, not sure if it could be added to this board.

RE: Unicode?
This is probably a long shot, but isn't making it unicode-compatible easy as setting the charset to utf-8 and adjusting the database so that it saves in unicode?

I believe you need to convert existing data in the database to utf-8, well that's what MyBB 1.2.10 done anyway.

Can't you just set the collation to utf8_general_ci?

No, you also need to use multibyte-aware string functions everywhere you deal with Unicode strings. And there are probably some other issues I can't think of right now. :p

Yeah, I think that's all MyBB does... issues a few ALTER TABLE queries and lets MySQL do all the work.

But MyBB 1.4's Unicode support is still buggy... it wouldn't let me ban my test user. :sad:
